2015 Potential Target

[retrieverman]

It's still early to be picking a buck for this year, but I believe this one is a pretty good candidate. He's not as big as my buck from last year which will be hard to top or even match, but I think he's a pretty nice buck just the same.

I've got an idea of what he'll "score", but I'd like to see what ya'll think.

High 140s good looking buck. how old do you think he is? I am thinking 3.5 He would be hard to turn down that for sure

I'm probably way off but I think he is close to 160"

Less start over G1-4" G2-12" G3-10" G4-2", Main Beam 25",Circumference 20"=73"x2=146"+Spread 17"=163". I always seem to have the big eye on bucks so I am going to revise my 1st answer mid to high 150s

I say given your situation and location, he gets a pass this year.

He's a good one...would be hard to pass.

Let him go, let him grow. Fantastic deer. Those kickers off the G2's will look even better in a year or two!

I definitely think you're in the ballpark. My low estimate is 154, and my high estimate is 167. He'll probably end up being within an inch or two (above or below) 160. In my opinion, that's a pretty nice buck that is essentially a big 8.

I really like the idea of passing this buck for another year, and if he was hanging out on the north side of the river, it wouldn't be a problem. However, he seems to be living on the south side of the river and is within a couple hundred yards from one of the neighbor's feeders. If he's coming to mine, I bet he's visiting theirs.
